I started celebrating a few weeks ago when I made my Mardi Gras Wreath for the front door. This weekend the Air Force base had a small parade that we participated in. We helped decorate a float for the Mardi Gras parade they had go through the base on Friday.
We used plastic table cloths and Mardi Gras decorations to fix it up. Not to bad considering most people around here have never even heard of Mardi Gras.
The Con-Man enjoyed himself. He caught some beads and chocolate!
I did some decorating around the house with beads and Mardi Gras items I've caught in past New Orleans parades to get into the Mardi Gras Spirit.
People often ask me if I "showed" anything for my large beads. The answer is NO! Absolutely not. I may have knocked over some elderly people and small children trying to catch them though. Just kidding (kind of...)
And we had an extra special surprise in the mail when we came home to find a King Cake on our door step!!!
My super awesome MIL send it to us all the way from Louisiana! Now our weekend was complete.
Now if I could only find a place that sold some of this out here in Middle of Nowhere Oklahoma:
My Lenten Season could really begin!
Do you celebrate Mardi Gras? Any Oklahoma readers know where to find boiled crawfish?? Seriously I need some-
